In the future years when we sit in
a Moris chair and dream sweet pipe
dreams of our Aima Mater there wiii
be one convention that wiii ever mar
the beauty in the trend of our thought.
Namely, that characteristic way in
which the "Cloister Hounds " strike
that you-may-chaseme attitude and
kick gravei into the shoes of the (un-
conscious) co-eds who seem to have
that 1-don't-know-i am-iiving spirit.

To take one glance at face above?
What? Look me in the eye, there

Well, 11] be damned—a chorus man.

Just for my girl's benefit;
I'd give her what she needed most.
And make a hit.
I thought my girt, like other girls.
More exercise and less sweets needed;
And so I took her for a walk
Her taste for candy never heeded. ,
My rivat sent her sweets gatore.
She gushed about the candy's savor;
Oh. why is it I'm toved no more
And he's gained favor?
